Try it for a while and you will see if you want more than it will allow you to do. It also offers features that are fun to use and amazing to view as a finished product.

The Google program is a good place to start because it is free at the startup level. True, you think that right now you will limit your involvement to simple sketches, but if you like it, you may decide to get deeper into the details. There is a learning curve for all the programs you mentioned so you need to decide how far you will want to go. Your recommendations will be welcome and appreciated.Ĭomputer Assisted Drawing is great, and for someone that is technically inclined, and learning to use a CAD program will be more fun than playing games on a computer. I’m not inclined in that direction, and, besides, I am already married 52 years. Ha! That don’t sound right considering the gender of most of those who will reply. If I give you people any more personal information, we may have to get married. From experience with my other knee replacement, I expect there will be time when this is about all I will be inclined to do. I expect to have knee replacement surgery in March or April. And, that is regarding time to learn and practice the CAD program. I need to add one more bit of information.

I am willing to devote time to learning how to use the program, but do not want the time period to be long and protracted. Like most retirees, now-a-days, I am involved in civic and church activities which I try to keep at a minimum. I have a shop and woodworking tools sufficient to tackle the type projects mentioned above.Ĩ. I believe I am fairly computer literate, especially considering my age and lack of any computer background in school or work.ħ. I do what I think will be fun and includes learning experiences.Ħ. I do a variety of woodworking projects from cabinetry to small boxes and jewelry chests. My work background was primarily in management in a large steel mill and management of a small production company that primarily involved a machine shop. My education includes a BBA degree in Industrial Management.Ĥ. I am an amateur hobbyist woodworker and have been for 35+ years.ģ. Here is some background information about me:ġ. I have read some about Alibre Design 9.1 A9CAD Delta CAD Program Sketchup by Google.6 and Turbo CAD. My current thoughts are that a program that would allow me to make drawings and plans similar to the ones we see in woodworking magazines would be sufficient. I read a lot of them, but they do not seem to help much in my thinking and decision on CAD’s. CAD like design is an iterative circular process don’t expect to get it right the first or second or third time.I have been thinking (AGAIN !) about getting and using a CAD program.
I can’t count the number of times I have almost finished a CAD model only it realise a better way of doing things and starting over again on the model. First you do a rough draft then fix a few things, then you turn the problem over in your head a few times and fix some more things. Think of creating a CAD model like writing a program or an essay. that is what the timeline (fusion 360) and the feature tree (solidworks) are for to go back and fix your work. Don’t expect the model to come together the way you expect it to. Do as little as makes sense in each sketch, then layer features onto each other to get the final object you want. I have seen a lot of people especially coming from 2D CAD try and create all of the features and details all at once in the sketch. The core idea you have to get used to for any Parametric CAD package is to fully define the sketch.Īny un/under defined lines will come back to bite you.Īnother idea worth noting is break as many features out into their own sketch as possible.
